While reciting the Amidah one should concentrate on the meaning of every word, avoiding all distractions and interruptions. One is required to pray loud enough to hear their own words, though it is not necessary to be audible to others. As one begins the Amidah one takes three steps forward, and then three steps back, which signifies our approaching the Throne of God.

אֲדֹנָי, שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח,

My Lord, open my lips,

וּפִי יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶךָ:

and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

אַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ וְשִׁמְךָ קָדוֹשׁ, וּקְדוֹשִׁים בְּכָל יוֹם יְהַלְּלוּךָ סֶּלָה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, הָאֵל הַקָּדוֹשׁ:

You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You daily for all eternity. Blessed are You Lord, (the holy King.) the holy God.

קדושת היום – Holiness of The Day

אַתָּה קִדַּשְׁתָּ אֶת יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי לִשְׁמֶךָ, תַּכְלִית מַעֲשֵֹה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ, בֵרַכְתּוֹ מִכָּל הַיָּמִים, וְקִדַּשְׁתּוֹ מִכָּל הַזְּמַנִּים, וְכֵן כָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ:

You have consecrated to Your Name the Seventh Day, the purpose of the creation of heaven and earth. You have blessed it above all days and sanctified it above all festivals. And thus it is written in Your Torah:

וַיְכֻלּוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ וְכָל צְבָאָם: וַיְכַל אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָֹה וַיִּשְׁבֹּת בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִכָּל מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָֹה: וַיְבָרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתוֹ, כִּי בוֹ שָׁבַת מִכָּל מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים לַעֲשֹוֹת:

The heavens and the earth and all their hosts were completed. And God finished by the Seventh Day His work which He had done, and He rested on the Seventh Day from all His work which He had done. And God blessed the Seventh Day and made it holy, for on it He rested from all His work which God created to function.

יִשְֹמְחוּ בְמַלְכוּתְךָ שׁוֹמְרֵי שַׁבָּת וְקוֹרְאֵי עֹנֶג, עַם מְקַדְּשֵׁי שְׁבִיעִי, כֻּלָּם יִשְֹבְּעוּ וְיִתְעַנְּגוּ מִטּוּבֶךָ, וּבַשְּׁבִיעִי רָצִיתָ בּוֹ וְקִדַּשְׁתּוֹ, חֶמְדַּת יָמִים אוֹתוֹ קָרָאתָ, זֵכֶר לְמַעֲשֵֹה בְרֵאשִׁית:

Those who observe the Shabbat and call it a delight shall rejoice in Your kingship; the nation which hallows the Seventh Day—all shall be satiated and delighted with Your goodness. You were pleased with the Seventh Day and made it holy; You called it the most desirable of days, in remembrance of the work of Creation.

Our God and God of our fathers, please find favor in our rest, make us holy with Your commandments and grant us our portion in Your Torah; satiate us with Your goodness, gladden our soul with Your salvation, and make our heart pure to serve You in truth; and, Lord our God, grant as our heritage, in love and goodwill, Your holy Shabbat, and may all Israel who sanctify Your Name rest thereon. Blessed are You Lord, who sanctifies the Shabbat.

אבודה – Temple Service

רְצֵה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּעַמְּךָֽ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלִתְפִלָּתָֽם שְׁעֵה,

Our God and God of our fathers, may there ascend, come, and reach; be seen, accepted, and heard; recalled and remembered before You the remembrance and recollection of us, the remembrance of our fathers, the remembrance of Mashiach the son of David Your servant, the remembrance of Jerusalem Your holy city, and the remembrance of all Your people the House of Israel, for deliverance, well-being, grace, kindness, mercy, good life and peace, on this day of

With the promise of deliverance and compassion, spare us and be gracious to us, and have mercy upon us and deliver us, for our eyes are directed to You; for You, God, are a gracious and merciful King.

May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy.

Blessed are You, Lord, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion.

מודים – Thanksgiving Bow at “מוֹדִים” and straighten up at “יְיָ”:

מוֹדִים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ, שָׁאַתָּה הוּא יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד צוּר חַיֵּינוּ, מָגֵן יִשְׁעֵנוּ, אַתָּה הוּא לְדוֹר וָדוֹר נוֹדֶה לְּךָ וּנְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶךָ, עַל חַיֵּינוּ הַמְּסוּרִים בְּיָדֶךָ, וְעַל נִשְׁמוֹתֵינוּ הַפְּקוּדוֹת לָךְ, וְעַל נִסֶּיךָ שֶׁבְּכָל יוֹם עִמָּנוּ, וְעַל נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ וְטוֹבוֹתֶיךָ שֶׁבְּכָל עֵת, עֶרֶב וָבֹקֶר וְצָהֳרָיִם, הַטּוֹב, כִּי לֹא כָלוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ, וְהַמְרַחֵם, כִּי לֹא תַמּוּ חֲסָדֶיךָ, כִּי מֵעוֹלָם קִוִּינוּ לָךְ:

We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, evening, morning and noon, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, for our souls which are entrusted to You, for Your miracles which are with us daily, and for Your continual wonders and beneficences. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; and the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we always place our hope in You.

On Chanukah one adds the following:

וְעַל הַנִּסִּים וְעַל הַפֻּרְקָן וְעַל הַגְּבוּרוֹת וְעַל הַתְּשׁוּעוֹת וְעַל הַנִפְלָאוֹת שֶׁעָשיתָ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בִּזְּמַן הַזֶּה:

And [we thank You] for the miracles, for the redemption, for the mighty deeds, for the saving acts, and for the wonders which You have wrought for our ancestors in those days, at this time—

style="border-spacing:0;"

בִּימֵי מַתִּתְיָהו בֶּן יוֹחָנָן כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, חַשְׁמוֹנָאִי וּבָנָיו,

In the days of Matityahu, the son of Yochanan the High Priest, the Hasmonean and his sons,

כְּשֶׁעָמְדָה מַלְכוּת יָוָן הָרְשָׁעָה עַל עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְהַשְׁכִּיחָם תּוֹרָתֶךָ וּלְהַעֲבִירָם מֵחֻקֵּי רְצוֹנֶךָ,

when the wicked Hellenic government rose up against Your people Israel to make them forget Your Torah and violate the decrees of Your will.

וְאַתָּה בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּים, עָמַדְתָּ לָהֶם בְּעֵת צָרָתָם.

But You, in Your abounding mercies, stood by them in the time of their distress.

רַבְתָּ אֶת־רִיבָם, דַּנְתָּ אֶת־דִּינָם, נָקַמְתָּ אֶת־נִקְמָתָם,

You waged their battles, defended their rights, and avenged the wrong done to them.

מָסַרְתָּ גִבּוֹרִים בְּיַד חַלָּשִׁים, וְרַבִּים בְּיַד מְעַטִּים, וּטְמֵאִים בְּיַד טְהוֹרִים, וּרְשָׁעִים בְּיַד צַדִּיקִים, וְזֵדִים בְּיַד עוֹסְקֵי תוֹרָתֶךָ.

You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the impure into the hands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and the wanton sinners into the hands of those who occupy themselves with Your Torah.

וּלְךָ עָשִׂיתָ שֵׁם גָּדוֹל וְקָדוֹשׁ בְּעוֹלָמֶךָ, וּלְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל עָשִׂיתָ תְּשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וּפֻרְקָן כְּהַיּוֹם הַזֶּה.

You made a great and holy name for Yourself in Your world, and effected a great deliverance and redemption for Your people Israel to this very day.

וְאַחַר כָּךְ בָּאוּ בָנֶיךָ לִדְבִיר בֵּיתֶךָ, וּפִנּוּ אֶת הֵיכָלֶךָ, וְטִהֲרוּ אֶת־מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ, וְהִדְלִיקוּ נֵרוֹת בְּחַצְרוֹת קָדְשֶׁךָ,

Then Your children entered the shrine of Your House, cleansed Your Temple, purified Your Sanctuary, kindled lights in Your holy courtyards,

וְקָבְעוּ שְׁמוֹנַת יְמֵי חֲנֻכָּה אֵלּוּ, לְהוֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל:

and instituted these eight days of Chanukah to give thanks and praise to Your great Name.

וְעַל כֻּלָּם יִתְבָּרֵךְ וְיִתְרוֹמֵם וְיִתְנַשֵֹּא שִׁמְךָ מַלְכֵּנוּ תָּמִיד לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted, and extolled forever and all time.

From Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur, during the Ten Days of Penitence, add:

וּכְתוֹב לְחַיִּים טוֹבִים כָּל בְּנֵי בְרִיתֶךָ:

Inscribe all the children of Your Covenant for a good life.

Bend at בָּרוּךְ, bow at אַתָּה, and straighten up at יְיָ:

וְכָל־הַחַיִּים יוֹדוּךָ סֶּלָה, וִיהַלְלוּ שִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל לְעוֹלָם כִּי טוֹב,

And all living things shall forever thank You, and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good.

God, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent God.

Bestow peace, goodness, and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness, and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for by the light of Your countenance You gave us, Lord our God, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be favorable in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel, at all times and at every moment, with Your peace.

From Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur, during the Ten Days of Penitence, add:

My God, guard my tongue from evil, and my lips from speaking deceitfully. Let my soul be silent to those who curse me; let my soul be as dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. As for all those who plot evil against me, hasten to annul their counsel and frustrate their design. Let them be as chaff before the wind; let the angel of the Lord thrust them away. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. Do it for the sake of Your Name; do it for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; do it for the sake of Your holiness. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.

One should bow and in the bowed position take three steps back, showing reverence as though one is taking leave of a king. Standing in one place one must bow to the left when saying “עשֶֹׁה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו”, bow forward when saying “הוּא”, bow to the right when saying “יַעֲשֶֹה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ” and bow to the front when saying “וְעַל כָּל יִשְֹרָאֵל” עשֶֹׁה שָׁלוֹם (During the Ten Days of Penitence substitute - הַשָּׁלוֹם) בִּמְרוֹמָיו הוּא יַעֲשֶֹה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ

וְעַל כָּל יִשְֹרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

He who makes (the) peace in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶֽיךָ, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ,

May it be Your will, Lord our God and God of our fathers,

שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵֽינוּ, וְתֵן חֶלְקֵֽנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶֽךָ:

that the Bet Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

The Amidah ends here, it is not repeated at Maariv by the Chazzan. One should briefly pause and then take three steps forward. One should rise and remain standing until after the completion of “עָלֵינוּ”:

וַיְכֻלּוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ וְכָל צְבָאָם: וַיְכַל אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי, מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה: וַיִּשְׁבֹּת בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִכָּל מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה: וַיְבָרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי, וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתוֹ, כִּי בוֹ שָׁבַת מִכָּל מְלַאכְתּוֹ, אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים לַעֲשׂוֹת:Genesis 1: – 2:-3

When the first night of Pesach and Shabbat coincide Hallel is said at this point The Chazzan recites the following:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אֱלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב, הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא אֵל עֶלְיוֹן קוֹנֵה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ:

Blessed are You, Lord our God and God of our fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome God, exalted God, Creator of heaven and earth.

The congregation, followed by the Chazzan says: From Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur, during the Ten Days of Penitence, one substitutes the words “הָאֵל הַקָּדוֹשׁ” with the words “הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ”

מָגֵן אָבוֹת בִּדְבָרוֹ מְחַיֵּה מֵתִים בְּמַאֲמָרוֹ, הָאֵל

He was a shield to our fathers with His word; He resurrects the dead by His utterance; He is the holy (King) God

(During the Ten Days of Penitence substitute - הַמֶּלֶךְ)

הַקָּדוֹשׁ שֶׁאֵין כָּמוֹהוּ הַמֵּנִיחַ לְעַמּוֹ בְּיוֹם שַׁבַּת קָדְשׁוֹ, כִּי בָם רָצָה לְהָנִיחַ לָהֶם, לְפָנָיו נַעֲבוֹד בְּיִרְאָה וָפַחַד וְנוֹדֶה לִשְׁמוֹ בְּכָל יוֹם תָּמִיד, מֵעֵין הַבְּרָכוֹת, אֵל הַהוֹדָאוֹת אֲדוֹן הַשָּׁלוֹם, מְקַדֵּשׁ הַשַּׁבָּת וּמְבָרֵךְ שְׁבִיעִי. וּמֵנִיחַ בִּקְדֻשָּׁה, לְעַם מְדֻשְּׁנֵי עֹנֶג, זֵכֶר לְמַעֲשֵֹה בְרֵאשִׁית:

like whom there is none. He gives rest to His people on His holy Shabbat day, for to them He desired to give rest. We will serve Him with awe and fear, and offer thanks to His Name every day, continually, in accordance with the blessings [of that day]. He is the God worthy of thanks, the Master of peace, who sanctifies the Shabbat and blesses the Seventh Day and brings rest with holiness to a people satiated with delight—in remembrance of the work of Creation.

The Chazzan says:

אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, רְצֵה נָא בִמְנוּחָתֵנוּ, קַדְּשֵׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתֶיךָ וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ שַֹבְּעֵנוּ מִטּוּבֶךָ וְשַֹמֵּחַ נַפְשֵׁנוּ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ, וְטַהֵר לִבֵּנוּ לְעָבְדְּךָ בֶּאֱמֶת, וְהַנְחִילֵנוּ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּאַהֲבָה וּבְרָצוֹן שַׁבַּת קָדְשֶׁךָ, וְיָנוּחוּ בָהּ כָּל יִשְֹרָאֵל מְקַדְּשֵׁי שְׁמֶךָ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, מְקַדֵּשׁ הַשַּׁבָּת:
